Sound familiar? It’s pretty much what happened with Dish Network and Cablevision last month. These disputes are common, but these three incidents have been unusual in that viewers actually lost programming. Now for some canned quotes.

Scripps says it’s not about the money.

“Let me start by saying this impasse is not about money,” John Lansing, president of Scripps Networks, said in a written statement. “We reached an agreement in principle with AT&T U-verse on the distribution fees we would receive for these networks well in advance of last month’s contract deadline.”

AT&T said it’s about the money.

“We’re extremely disappointed that Scripps Networks won’t provide a fair deal for AT&T customers,” reads a news release from the company. “Our team has been working for weeks to reach a fair agreement, but Scripps Networks ultimately refused to put

in writing key terms that had been agreed upon verbally, leaving our customers without a fair deal as our extended contract expired.”
